Self-Study and 10-Year Accreditation Site Visit Updates
The Department of Field Activities has made updates to the ACGME
Self-Study
and the
Site Visit
web pages.
The most significant change entails transitioning to a single form for the Self-Study Summary. In addition, there were minor revisions to the Summary of Achievements. All core and subspecialty programs will now use the same Self-Study Summary form. Programs that already completed earlier versions of the Self-Study Summary or the Summary of Achievements can still upload those forms into ADS.
The feedback form sent to programs after the 10-Year Accreditation Site Visit has been shortened to reduce redundancy and enhance value.
